Ed & Nick - Congrats - themz nice fish! Wish we had those down here - awesome job!

Where I was fishing Thursday (very close to where we will be next weekend for the Newport CS shindig - 3 -5 miles away) we had much smaller SBFT, mostly barely legal tuna, but there were reportedly some 60 & 80#ers in the area that we did not get into. Here is a 20#er I got on a Cordell pencil popper and some teen size on a wood squid bass lure and a "Booger" Big Bart - the topwater action was a ball but I wish we had the ones like you had [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Hey Nick - what Bait Shop were you at? I see one of my S-B bumper stickers from my fishing site there?? Is that Santini's shop?

Re: Looking for SBFT ....
 

Nice job John!

You better change those hooks if a 80# comes along!! [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

That is Santini's shop ... i called him that i had a weigh in SBFT, he made the assumption that i landed it and passed it on to the Fisherman.

I give Ed all the credit for raising his 1st SBFT! He did a fine job! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
